Contact is taking a holiday!

Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.

When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.

It also mentions the forced disappearance of religious practitioners, physical abuse and prolonged detention. It speaks of US instigated “sustained and concerted effort to encourage greater religious freedom in Tibetan areas” at the highest level.
